Frequently asked questions

  • Who comes for Somatic Bodywork and Movement Therapy?

    People who experience physical and/or emotional tension, discomfort, or challenges, and who would like to work with these experiences holistically. The process supports self-discovery, greater awareness, and the development of new ways of moving through life.

  • What are the sessions like?

    Each session is unique and shaped collaboratively by the client and therapist.

    We begin with a conversation to understand what is present and where attention is needed.

    As the session unfolds, it may include speaking and listening, guided sensing and feeling, hands-on touch bodywork, movement exploration, and reflection through mindful movement or dialogue. The structure is open and responsive, emerging naturally through the process.

  • Is it movement, talk or touch therapy?

    The sessions integrate movement, dialogue, and hands-on touch according to the needs of the client.

    Through this combination, the work supports the ongoing development of embodied self-awareness and a deeper connection with the body-mind.

  • What is the role of the therapist in the sessions?

    My role is to support the client's direct, lived experience of their body and mind.

    I facilitate movement explorations and guide the development of self-awareness through movement, touch, and focused attention.

    I create and hold a space where clients can safely explore what may feel vulnerable, challenging, or unfamiliar.

    I witness the client's process and offer reflections through my own embodied, relational presence.

    This is a collaborative process in which I support clients in discovering new ways of knowing, relating to, and being with themselves.

  • What do the sessions NOT offer?

    These sessions are not massage treatments where clients passively receive bodywork.

    The work invites clients’ active participation, curiosity, and engagement in the therapeutic process.

  • What to expect from the sessions?

    Each session is offered with care, intention, and awareness to support the client's holistic well-being, through the therapist's knowledge, skills, and presence.

    The sessions aim to empower individuals to participate actively and creatively in their healing process by developing trust in their own inner knowledge and intuition, while learning skills that support access to the wisdom of the body and mind (I.B.M.T., 2024).

  • How long is a session?

    Each session is 60 minutes.
